Shocking. Saddening. And most of all, this makes me angry. "Despite rising gas prices..."???!!! Are you kidding me?"Despite rising gas prices, the sales of gas-hungry minivans, sport utility vehicles, light and heavy trucks, vans and buses surged to a new record high.
Consumers bought 803,166 of these vehicles in 2006, up 2.3 per cent from the previous year." (full article here)
How about, "Despite the devasting potential effects of climate change, the worldwide impending oil/energy crisis, the massive problem of resource depletion, and the health-destroying pollution that causes cancer and disease at increasing rates, Canadians, symbolic of the reckless and short-sighted North American disregard for anything but immediate pleasure and convenience, continue to willfully jeopardize the future of the world and the viability of the human race."
Sell bicycles. Close roads. Get people off their couches and get them walking to work. Grow food. Talk to each other. Build a community. Connect with your environment. This must all be done in order to survive.
